The death of electronica
by Shaun Turner 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Well it's finaly hit me. electronic music as has been dominating the scene since the late 80's since the development and populisation of the "techno" music seems to be well and truely at an end. Despite longings to go only to my local night spot saturday nights with the desire to listen to, and if the tunes are right, dance to, some electronic music in whatever form the dj is playing. The aforementioned techno was always popular, with house, trance, and heaps of other variants well and truely in there. Personaly i dident mind rap either. Sir-mix-a-lot, Young mc, Hammer, Run D.M.C., even the beastie boys where always welcome. Now rap has been warped into hip-hop. A style of music that you can only bounce to, and definatly not dance to in any way shape or form to. Hip-hop, largely the domain of afircan americans, has taken over the nightspots where electronica in all it's forms once ruled. The young people of today are taken in by the "gangster" persona of a number of the better known exponents. the young men are also persuaded by the video clips of extramly skantily clad women with ample busts flying about everywhere. Guys, rarely do video clips reveal anything. Your wasting your time gawking. perhaps it's just my narrow look on the world from a country town 200km from a town with a 20k population, and 300km from my capitial city. perhams i'm being bent by the narrow minds of the dj's at my local night spot who i've only ever known to play hip hop. perhaps i need to get out more to the right kinds of places - how can one do that in the country. Or perhaps i'm getting old set in my ways. Punk is a style that came and went. perhaps it's electronica's time to go. I hope to god it's not 'cause there's not a lot else out there to listen to. if anyone has any tips on how to survive in the drought of new and popular electronica i'd be glad to here it. sorry to rant, it's been one of those days Shaun

Juhana Interesting perception. Try telling that idea directly to Universal. The odds are not in our (The customers) favor at all. Unfortunately that is the way it be. Peace

Hello. We should keep low profile whenever we find out a source for the rare and not-available Yello stuff. Sad but true. However, the idea about Ocean Club selling us legal Yello items is good. Would anyone of us like to start such a business and make a deal with Yello/Universal? A dedicated Yello fan running the business would be more committed to get a hold of good items, plenty of them. Some existing webstore company could stay with a few standard items and would not be interested in to demand the items from Yello. Libraries have legal rights to make copies of certain items, such as webpages. Libraries can place the webpages available after two years (versus the 75 years, after the author has died, we all others must honor). Now, we should have similar legal rights: we should be able to legally copy out-of-print items. Say, copyright holder should distribute 10000 each year to preserve the copy(ing)right. Or, one could simply check when the sells go down enough -- if the copyright holder refuses to sell items (like Yello/Universal does) the number of sold items goes down to zero very quickly. Yello/Universal, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and the like, are simply culture destroyers because they have stopped selling the art. They are the talibans of the western world.
